Company banned from Glasgow after BBL procedure left woman in hospital
Prohibition notices have been served after a woman required emergency hospital treatment following a BBL in a hotel in March this year.
A company which carried out a Brazilian Butt Lift in a hotel function room which left a woman in hospital has been banned from the city.
Environmental Health Officers have served Prohibition Notices on two companies and an associated individual practitioner preventing them from carrying out high risk Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Augmentation procedures anywhere within the city's boundaries.
It's after a woman required emergency hospital treatment following a BBL procedure in a hotel function room in March this year.
Similar cases have been reported in other local authority areas, including Edinburgh.
Glasgow's Convener for Neighbourhood Services, Councillor Ruairi Kelly, said: "Action has been taken by the council's Environmental Health team in a bid to prevent procedures being carried out in unsuitable and non-sterile locations. "People need to be extremely careful when considering undergoing cosmetic procedures. If they go wrong - the consequences can be painful, disfiguring and require emergency medical treatment."
The Health and Safety Prohibition Notices prohibit those involved from undertaking any BBL or breast augmentation procedures within any premises or locations within the Glasgow City Council local authority area, until evidence can be provided that these procedures will be carried out safely.
If those involved fail to comply with these notices, a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal for consideration of a Prosecution, where the offender could face imprisonment, a significant fine, or both.
